Place to hangout, chill or relax surrounded by cats. You can only get drink from vending machine provided, there is no snacks. You can not feed the cats but of course you can play with them (if they are not sleeping). The difference with other cat cafe is all of them are rescued cats. If you are living in Japan and want to adopt the cats from Ekoneko, please ask the staff for detail.

Review

:

One of my favourite cafe, even though it is small, but the kittens are more playful and approachable.

Ekoneko is currently has 20 rescued cats.

This place is NOT stink AT ALL, as any other cat cafes. Sometimes you can smell the cat pee.

The staff are so helpful.

Not many tourists who come to this place, it seems very local place. So be prepared with simple Japanese language to communicate with the staff.

Overall, i like this place.

Until you see this sign. ねこカフェ

The entrance, you have to walk up the stairs

Press the bell button, because the door is always locked
